Pelodiscus is a genus of turtles in the family Trionychidae, the softshells.[1] Based on genetic and morphological analysis there are five valid species.[2][3] They are native to Eastern Asia, ranging from the Amur region, through China, Korea and Japan, to Vietnam.[3]
Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Pelodiscus.
